The University of Florida (UF) was awarded a $513,967.35 grant (Grant Award ID: 80NSSC17K0021) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the neurological impacts of a 30-day head-down tilt bed rest study with a 0.5% CO2 environment. This research aims to quantify the neurocognitive changes and associated neural structural and functional alterations that occur in a spaceflight analog environment. The study will utilize cutting-edge neuroimaging...
This is a $392,133.11 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Florida (UF) to investigate whether 30 minutes of artificial gravity per day, delivered either continuously or in six, five-minute intermittent blocks, can mitigate changes that occur in a spaceflight analog environment. The grant, which is not set aside, will fund a 60-day head-down tilt bed rest study to assess the effectiveness of the artificial gravity countermeasure on...
This $551,118 federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Baylor College of Medicine to monitor the physiological and anatomical effects of two different regimens of intermittent centrifugation-induced artificial gravity, with a focus on the brain, eye, and vestibular system responses. The specific aims are to evaluate the cerebral physiological effects of artificial gravity during a 60-day bed rest period and assess the acute dynamic changes in the...
This is a $40,000.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Imec USA Nanoelectronics Design Center, Inc., a non-profit research organization. The grant covers three research projects focused on studying the effects of microgravity on ophthalmic complications, cerebrospinal fluid production, and intracranial pressure, all of which are relevant to crew health and performance during space exploration missions. The projects were awarded in response to separate...
This federal contract award, valued at $698,314.09, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs. The contract supports research and modeling efforts to better understand Visual Impairment/Intracranial Pressure (VIIP) syndrome, a condition that affects some astronauts during long-duration spaceflight. The research aims to develop computational models that can quantify the...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $579,723 grant to the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) on April 10, 2018 to conduct research on the effects of artificial gravity on neuroplasticity and behavioral health during long-duration spaceflight. The overarching goal is to quantify the impact of different intermittent artificial gravity protocols on cortical neuroplasticity, neural control of the cardiovascular system, and spatial cognition during 60-day...
This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is a research grant valued at $3,669,042.00 to the University of Washington (UW) to measure intracranial pressure (ICP) in astronauts before, during, and after long-duration spaceflight on the International Space Station (ISS). The research aims to determine if the visual impairment and intracranial pressure (VIIP) syndrome observed in some astronauts is related to changes in ICP, which could help NASA...
This federal award is a grant for $994,678 from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), doing business as the Office of Research Administration. The grant supports research on the effects of real microgravity on human neural stem cells and oligodendrocytes, aimed at understanding the causes of increased intracranial pressure and visual impairment observed in astronauts after long-duration space missions. The research will...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $940,352 grant to The General Hospital Corporation (Massachusetts General Hospital) for a 30-day head-down tilt study to investigate countermeasures for spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome (SANS), a risk to long-duration spaceflight. The study will provide detailed neurophysiological and fluid shift assessment tools to complement standard ocular measures used for SANS diagnosis and monitoring. This award is not...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $308,668 research grant to the Doheny Eye Institute, a non-profit organization focused on vision research and patient care. The contract, which is not designated as a set-aside, aims to determine the combined structural and functional ocular alterations caused by the development of optic disc edema in a spaceflight analog environment. This research directly supports NASA's efforts to understand and mitigate vision-related impacts...
